چکیده

Atherosclerotic Renal Artery Stenosis (ARAS) is a common cause of secondary hypertension, especially in the elderly population, and is often associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, as well as progression to chronic renal insufficiency [1,2]. Consequently, treatment options have been increasingly directed towards the preservation of renal function and reduction in the progression to endstage renal disease (ESRD).

A mitochondrial permeability transition pore inhibitor improves renal outcomes after revascularization in experimental atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis.

Revascularization improves blood pressure but not renal function in most patients with atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis (ARAS), possibly related to injury incurred during renal reperfusion. Bendavia, a novel tetrapeptide that inhibits mitochondrial permeability transition pore opening, reduces apoptosis, oxidative stress, and ischemia-reperfusion injury in experimental models. However, its...

Mitochondrial protection restores renal function in swine atherosclerotic renovascular disease.

AIMS The mechanisms responsible for renal injury in atherosclerotic renovascular disease (ARVD) are incompletely understood, and few therapeutic options are available to reverse it. We hypothesized that chronic renal damage involves mitochondrial injury, and that mitochondrial protection would reduce renal fibrosis and dysfunction in ARVD pigs. METHODS AND RESULTS Domestic pigs were studied a...

Catheter-based therapy for atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis.

The prevalence of atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis (RAS) is more common than was previously thought, particularly in patients with known coronary, cerebrovascular, or peripheral vascular atherosclerosis. Clinical subsets in which RAS is more common include patients with uncontrolled hypertension, renal insufficiency, and/or sudden onset ("flash") pulmonary edema. Renal artery atheroscleros...

Atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis: current therapy and future developments.

Atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis affects between 2 and 4 million people in the United States alone and likely has a higher prevalence than previously thought. Renal artery stenosis has been increasingly recognized in recent years, especially in patients with cardiovascular disease. It has been associated with hypertension, renal dysfunction, and sudden onset of pulmonary edema. Patients wi...
